The LPL group stage has now concluded. In the crucial battle for the ownership of the "Resurrection Armor", BLG swept FPX and secured first place in the regular season. During the game, a spectator was asked to leave the scene because of his suicidal behavior;

On the other hand, a playoff team in the PCS region is facing the dilemma of being forced to withdraw from the competition. The reason is also quite outrageous. The boss owes wages and the base owes rent. The players who paid for the competition at their own expense are about to be kicked out...



BLG secures first place in the regular season

Although BLG had a rough time in the first half of the summer season and encountered personnel rotation, it still managed to stabilize its position in the process of constant adjustment. In the final match of the group match against FPX yesterday, BLG swept the opponent 2-0 and locked the first place in the regular season. Left Hand's Lucian not only got a pentakill, but also unlocked a new record in the LPL region with 21 kills in a single game.



However, there was a small incident during the game. A spectator at the scene used insulting words while holding a sign. The sign he used had two sides, and the front side was cheering for Galaxy, but when the director gave the camera again, the sign was turned over.



The incident was quickly dealt with, and the official staff immediately asked him and his companions to leave the venue and notified the police. Because of this "live broadcast accident", these people will also be banned from watching the game in person in the future.



With the conclusion of yesterday's game, the LPL Summer Season will officially enter the BO5 stage of the playoffs. From Saturday to Monday, the two teams in the Summit Group and the four teams in the Nirvana Group will compete for the last three playoff spots.



So which team do you think will win the championship in this summer season?

PCS teams owe rent and can't play in the playoffs

Compared with the four major regions, the situation of wildcard teams has always been quite bad. In order to change this situation, the wildcard teams in Southeast Asia have been merged together this year. Currently, the Vietnam region, the Philippines region, and the Japan region all belong to the PCS region. These teams from different countries and regions will compete in the playoffs for a place in the playoffs.



In the first round of the PCS playoffs, the Philippine team WP will face the Japanese team DFM. However, the current situation is extremely difficult for the WP players. Due to the unpaid rent of the base, the WP players are about to be kicked out. And in the past few months, because the boss did not pay the salary, the players actually paid for the competition at their own expense.





The players of the WP team revealed this in the fan group. In the past few months, the players in the team have taken the initiative to bear the gas, internet, electricity and even the salary of the cleaning lady. However, as for the rent of the base, they really can't afford it this time. WP may become the first team to abandon the competition due to financial problems.



Although this may sound magical, the situation of many unknown teams in small regions is indeed just on the line of subsistence. E-sports ultimately relies on strength, and I hope WP can survive in the end.

14.15 version update implementation

This morning, the League of Legends client was updated to version 14.15. This version has a lot of adjustments, and the impact on the in-game environment is real. This includes an overall weakening of shoes, as well as adjustments to AD equipment such as Siren and Electric Knife.



The new version also weakens the movement speed and damage of ranged heroes, and the electric knife weakens the movement speed bonus and increases the purchase price by 100 gold coins. In addition, the "Swift Step" rune talent has also been adjusted. It can be seen that the designer intends to change the current status of the AD mid-lane. Therefore, they weakened their strength from the equipment and talent level.



It is worth mentioning that equipment such as Astral Drive, Hex Belt, Abyss Mask, etc. have been strengthened. I believe that in the next version (playoff version), everyone will be able to see more mage heroes appear.

The newly launched hero Alola is also among those being weakened this time. Since her debut, she has shown extremely high strength, making her win rate exceed 50% in the first week of launch. Alola's performance in the top lane and mid lane is quite good, and many professional players have already practiced using her. I believe that in the next version, there will be room for her to appear.



So what do you think about this version update?
